Handmaster Plus is a best exercise for cmplete hand, wrist, forearm and arm strengthening for all grip strength and training and …
i watched most of your videos, dr.zac, but i have a question. i personally want to take martial arts that involve the maximum potential and extent of wrist strength and movement, which is possible in chinese kung fu exercise, training, and forms. but what i do not understand is how the wrist is relative to the 18 muscles that both open and close the hand, or am i wrong? i also am curious of what the safest wrist training is, because that would be conducive to add to hand performance, thx
Hybridaaron:
The 18 hand muscles (act on the hand specifically) are made up of 9 muscles that open & 9 muscles that close the hand. There are also muscles that act specifically on the wrist. Maximum wrist fitness requires hand AND wrist muscles to be strong & balanced. Many people leave out hand exercise form their wrist workout not realizing that about hand 1/2 muscles cross (& thus affect) the wrist joint, lending to its fitness. Handmaster Plus & Powerball are a great combo.

im thinkin of gettin one of these
im usin the nsd powerball right now..is the hand master better than the powerball? or does the powerball have its perks?
Hi BassPlayerRene9:
Thanks for your interest. I quite like the Powerball for wrist and forearm strength, but used alone (because the Powerball require repetitive finger gripping, yet no finger extension), will lead to finger muscle imbalance and therefore finger, thumb, hand, carpal tuneel, wrist, forearm and elbow imbalance/weakness. Use Handmaster Plus to balance the 18 finger muscles & strengthen the lateral forearm/elbow & Powerball for the wrist and forearm. Great combo.

Hi BassPlayerRene9:
Thanks for the feedback. We have many professional bands and musicians using Handmaster Plus daily & on tour.
Use it regularly for strength, stamina, balance & accuracy, as well as for warm up and cool down. A 1 minute cool down exercise will help eliminate lactic acid from the tissues (lactic acid is a by product of hand, finger and wrist muscle contraction and can lead to stiffness and tissue adhesions).

Do you recommend the pro hands gripmaster pro?
Hi ttamreztif:
Thanks for your q. The products are quite different.
Handmaster Plus allows the user’s hand to be resisted through full, natural, 3-dimensional ranges of motion through both closing (flexion) & opening (extension), producing maximum strength, balance and blood flow.
Gripmaster addresses flexion only, through 2 dimensions (1 plane).
Hope that helps…
Best,
doczac
hi doczac question, how do you know when your making progress when using the handmaster plus? like in terms of months and weeks, that you and your hands feel progress? because im still thinking of buying this lol even buying two of em ;O
Hi Mannypacquia0:
Thanks for your q.
When using Handmaster Plus, you will notice muscle fatigue/challenge usually within one minute, as most products do not exercise all of the important muscles that Handmaster Plus resists (this is the reason for so much weakness, injury & imbalance).
Muscle changes are usually noticed within weeks, if user is consistent.
Best,
doczac
thanks for the honest answer, and also doczac so basicly ican feel promosing results if i exercise with hand masterplus repeatedly everyday for like 5 mins on each hand or something?
It’s good for playing music instruments…5 stars!
Will this make your hand bigger, and make your fingers thicker and longer?
Please answer.
Hi HardCoreSkater16:
Exercising the muscles of your hand (9 muscles close the hand & 9 muscles open it) would theorteically make your hand muscles bigger, which would make your hands and forearms bigger. Your genes would play into how much so 9just as in body building). The exercises would make you stronger & much morebalanced (most people are over developed on flexor muscles) but would have no affect on finger/thumb length.
Hope that helps!
best,
doczac
does it work for inner elbow stabilizer injurys
how much is it…and do i have to order it or can i buy it in a store
I bought the handmaster plus in December 2008.Been suffering tendon inflammation and other guitar related problems.After 2 weeks of using the Handmaster Plus the thumb loop snapped. I emailed Tom Spragge , sent some photos.He not only emailed back but promptly sent me, not 1 ,but 4 new rubber chords!! 4 free!
After almost 3.mnt of using the HMP and im getting a lot more hand strength back. I can warm up exercise without overdoing it I really recommend this product !
